Vim doesn't seem to support gtk1 anymore.
Running configure --help gives 
--enable-gui=OPTS     X11 GUI default=auto
OPTS=auto/no/gtk2/gnome2/motif/athena/neXtaw/photon/carbon
gtk is not among these and running make configure outputs the line:
checking --enable-gui argument... Sorry, gtk GUI is not supported

If you want vim with a working gtk gui you can try
editors/vim-gtk2
